"I love these boots (got 'em in brown), and I wish I had been able to get them in black too before they ran out of my size. I am a consistent size 8, and that's what I purchased. If you are a borderline between sizes, go up a half size. I was concerned at first that I should have done that, but fortunately the 8 worked after all. I have skinny ankles and muscular calves, and it's hard for me to find boots that fit. These zipped up (pretty snugly) around my calf, but they are very comfortable due to the elastic gusset on the boot. The heel height is perfect for me - not too low, not too high. The first time I wore them it was for an all day shopping trip, and they didn't hurt my feet at all. That's a pretty big deal, since I always have trouble breaking in shoes (high maintenance feet, I guess!). I'm so happy to have found such beautiful boots, at a great price, that feel good. If you're lucky enough to be a size they still have in stock, stop reading reviews and buy these boots right now!"

"Really liked these boots. They have good cushion for the balls of your feet. Unfortunately, I have a wide foot and the regular width was too tight. The wide may have fit fine but were not available in my size. Will have to return them."

"I was looking for a boot with a narrow shaft circumference for my skinny legs. This was advertised as having a 13 1/2" shaft circumference. When I tried them on there was a huge gap between the boots and my legs. So I took measuring tape and low and behold... the circumference measured at 15". Very disappointed!! I will be returning these and will have to continue looking."
